    Fox News, C-SPAN, and numerous Youtube channels continue to cover the pressers live.

    You would like to pretend that Americans had no access to them because of some bogus progressive agenda, when in fact, they are/were readily available, and remain so to this day.

    Do those mediums equal the same viewer ships that CNN, NBC, ABC, MSNBC reach? If the pressers were filled with falsehoods and propaganda, why is it that the right wing states and localities faring much better than left wing states and cities?

    kind of a lame comparison ya think??

    to compare Italy with other countries is not a fair comparison

    Italy had thousands of Chinese workers in their Italian made shoe shops ..

    and in the Italian culture everybody kisses on the cheek and eats meals family style

    ...and it is was the most popular tourist destination on earth ..

    of course florida did better than New York...the landscape of florida is entirely different than new York

    how many skyscraper office building and subways are in florida compared to new York??

    and to use south Dakota as an example is also lame

    how many people travel to south Dakota during January to April??

    it snowed there a couple weeks ago ..south Dakota is a miserable place except for the summer months

    so let talk about comparing new Zealand or south korea or sinagapore or even hong kong to the rest of the world

    all of the above places have better numbers than the USA and many other countries

    So you cant actually say "the countries that best followed the advice have recovered the fastest and with fewest deaths" because that wasn't the only factor huh?

    It's interesting that you're blaming Trump for the shutdown, when the collective left just just got done telling Trump that he doesn't have the power to tell states whether they can open or close businesses. Maybe you Trump haters can warn us next time, when you're going to contradict yourselves, because reading your posts is giving us all whiplash.

    So, then, you agree it was a vehicle for campaigning instead of a press conference to discuss the virus and the administration's plans.

    I was going off the premises that the left claimed it was a campaign tool. Actually, everything anyone in politics does is a campaign tool because they want to be reelected. I find it funny that for a good time before the daily briefs, the leftist media were harping on Trump for NOT giving daily pressers.

    Very well stated.

    One small but significant correction. Trump did not order any shut downs.

    Well, it is what they said, essentially.

    While I don't watch CNN, I applaud their critically thought out decision not to air Trump's daily shitshow of a political rally.

    They've always been two sides of the same coin but the Democrats were co-opted by some truly evil people and while I don't trust the Republicans on some things I don't trust the Democrats at all on anything.

    Sounds like Trump needs to change his complete method of interacting with the Human Race

    Lol...What would you expect?
    Obama was a decent man who loved his family and his country, and tried to do the best for his country. Pretty much like every potus. On the other hand, trump is an indecent man who treats his family like hired help and is prepared to throw the country under the bus to help himself. The pandemic just brought it all into sharper focus, so even the most deluded can't ignore the orange elephant in the room any more.
    The media is only doing its duty in reporting trump.
    If you want a propaganda organ, listen to faux news, although even they are getting fed up with the national tragedy that is trump.

    The Trump supporting responses have been even more comedy gold.

    "Trump was forced to shutdown the Nation because of the evil Dems that own the media, narrative, or whatever they own that controls Trump."

    LOL

    I'm pretty sure a lot of the misery can be attributed to the governors, the "experts" who advocated for the total shutdown of the economy and the media's breathless doom and gloom reporting.

    another trumper that refuses to accept facts

    nobody said that only following the advice of health professionals was the only factor in recovery ..

    but the places that did follow advice have recovered faster and had less deaths

    I don't care what trump says

    lol

    Well the leftist should feel right at home then, considering a good part of their news sources and information come from late night comedians ;)

    Trump rendered a nation emergency and that gave federal guidelines to the States on when to shutdown and how to re-open

    actually they did, maybe Fox didn't, but other networks did, they report the news, regardless what it is

    the Dems tried to play nice, Trump tried to make it political, Trump could of just said the fed was not prepared, we don't know who to help the States get protective gear and Ventilators, but instead blamed it on the States that admitted they needed help and could not do it while competing with every State for the same things and the fed at the same time

    Trump even tried to blame his new Tests for Covid19 not working on Obama, like Obama had anything to do with Trump's (prefect tests that were as perfect as his phone call per Trump)
